A sweet-tart topping gives this turkey burger a fun twist.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen cranberries
  • 1/3 cup tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

Burgers

  • 1/3 cup 6% Balkan-style yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 450-g pkg ground turkey
  • 4 hamburger buns , toasted

Instructions

  • Combine cranberries with tomato paste, water, sugar and Dijon in a small saucepan and set over medium-low. Cook, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop, 12 to 15 min. Mash until mixture is thick. Set aside.
  • Preheat barbecue to medium.

Tip

To prevent puffy burgers, use your thumb to make an indent in the centre of each patty before grilling. This will help keep them flat so they cook evenly.
